[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a GenXer, my parents are both deceased and left me with nothing. I know I won't be getting an inheritance. Baby Boomers still won't retire, so I know I won't be getting a promotion. Millennials still won't stop complaining, so I know I won't be getting any Millennials to work for me. Millennials don't have an understanding of what older people experienced in life because you just don't know any better. Your standard of living is based off of your Boomer parents standard of living. Colleges were redesigned for you to look like resorts. You were given endless supplies of free money for college, which you most likely will never pay back. You were on your parents health insurance until age 25. Most generations before you did not grow up with the internet, cable tv, microwave ovens, trips all over the world, granite counter tops, and yes, avocado toast and $5 latte! LoL. [/quote] I like how the standard Gen X argument about generational differences these days is to accuse Millennial of complaining too much... [b]while complaining.[/b][/quote] We GenXers learned a long time ago how to be silent and stoic by our Silent Generation parents, that small generational cohort between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers. Stating "I know the reality of my situation," is not the same as stating, "My situation is sooooo unfair!" LoL. [/quote] NP. No, the PP was right. You guys do whine a lot. Then again, I suppose we should have expected it considering you guys gave us grunge and sad white dudes in flannel crying with they strum their guitar[/quote]
